Question

2x – y + 4 = 0 is a diameter of the circle which circumscribed a rectangleABCD. If the co-ordinates of A and B are A(4, 6) and B(1, 9), find the area of rectangle ABCD.

Solution

Correct option is

18 sq. units

 

Since (4, 6) and B(1, 9) do not lie on 2x – y + 4 = 0.

Let M be the mid point of AB then co-ordinates of M is 

   

  

Which passes through P(hk) then

                   

and (hk) lie on 2x – y + 4 = 0

   

Solving (1) and (2), we get

                 h = 1   and   k = 6
